This majestic pair of columns, hewn from Italian Cipolino and Carrara marbles, is the largest pair of marble columns we have had the pleasure to offer. The columns' extraordinary size is matched by their elegance, as the swirls of green and white in the coveted Cipolino al Contro marble contrast beautifully with the stark white of the Carrara capitals and bases. Both of these marbles have been used for millennia in the construction of temples and churches, and to create the world's most exceptional sculpture and interiors. Columns such as these are a direct link to the artisans of antiquity, and to find a pair carved of these timeless stones is truly remarkable.
